How Sharon’s Approaches Work Online

Sharon uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and reactions, which can help when trust, abandonment, or closeness feel difficult. She also applies Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the client’s own goals and perspective, giving people space to be heard and to steer the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change behavior and mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sharon will talk through what you want to change and suggest methods that fit your goals and preferences. The plan can be adjusted as you learn what helps most, and decisions are made collaboratively.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make fitting therapy into life easier. Video is useful for full conversation and interactive exercises, phone calls can be a simpler option when bandwidth is low, and messaging or live chat can work well for brief check-ins or between-session coaching. These options make it easier to schedule around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the focus on progress and practical steps.
